ecntive board OF the Knights OF La ahor pro-
hbiting branches Of the order from voting
money for political purposes has been
made public in Chicago. Robert Nelson,
master workman of the district assembly,
is the United Labor partys candidate ior

bly, voted the United Labor parry $50 out
OF the general fund. Local assembly 400,
which forms part OF District Assembly "a,
protested at once to General Master w ork-
Powderly against the action OF the district
assembly. The protest has brought out
the following ruling signed by Mr.. Powder
ly: my decision that the action taken
by District Assembly "a in voting $50 to
the United Labor party or any other par
ty was clearly in violation Of law estab-
ished by precedent, is unanimously ap.
proved by a majority OF the general execu.

Tho Unitarian.

For two years past there have been
movements ON foot looking to the
formation 0fa Unitarian society, and
this was effected last May through
the fundamentally OF Rev. f. M.
Wheelock, who came on from BOs.
ton. and has remained az their set.
tied minister. They already have
an enrolled membership Of forty
three, with q Sabbath school and
bible class OF forty, and an average
attendance at morning service OF
about 4 hundred. They own two
valuable lots on Sprague street, on
which they expect, next year, to
erect handsome and commodlOus
building, costing over $4,000. The
growth OF the society has been
steady from Its inception.

The Meth odist.

The First Methodist Episcopal
church was started in October, 1878,
under the pastora!e OF Rev. II. j.
GOdfastine. Two years later Rev.
M. 8. Anderson secured the lot on
the corner OF Sprague and Washing.
ton streets, and rough board build.
Ing was erected. This was enlarged
and improved In 1885, but for a year
1t has proved too small, and now
under the pastOrate OF Rev. w. g.
Gray, they are erecting a splendid
brick edifice on the corner OF Sprague
and Bernard streets, at a cost, when
completed and furnished, OF about
$4,000.
During the past year they have
erected Il second church on the north
side, which WAS dedicated on Christ
mas day, lot and church costing
$4,000. Rev. II. f. Bisbee Is pastor
Of this church.
To their original college building,
erected In 1884, upon land donated
by Col. jenkins, they have n)w
added another building, like the TWO
churches, veneered with brick.
Their membership, on this side, is
over two hundred; on the other,
about thirty; the Sabbath schools,
three hundred and one hundred, re-
spectively.

Among the hrst, II not the very
frst religious teachers In this region
were the Jesuit Fathers, with mis-.
sions among the Spokane and the
Occur d'Alene Indians. They also
organized and have now the care Of
the Roman Catholic church In this
city. A year ago the first rough
board structure on Main street gave
place to neat and capaclous edifice,
which Is already too small for the
ever increasing congregation. Rev.
James Rebmann, 8. j., Is pastor, as
sisted by Rev. L. Jacquet, s. j., who
also attends various white and In-
dian missions.
Besides the college, across the
river, and the Sacred Heart hospital,
on this side, they are just complet-
ing a large building near the church
for a parish sch DOL, under the care of
the Sisters. They certainly deserve
great credit for their foresight and
enterprise.

Scarcely two months ago this So

members. They do not have set

Elder James ScOles, has preached
for them at Intervals. This society,
besides the doctrines indicated BY
their name, lay great stress upon
health reform, and upon very tenn
perate manner Of life, for the. pur-
well as for the ra cement of
piety. They discard the use Of tea
and coffee as we'll as tobacco and al

on the north side between Post and

erecting a church and also, along.

II. w. Stratton proposes to donate
two very fine lots.
The church has now a resident

more widely disseminated work,
and, after allowing for differences Of

The Spokane Lime Co.

This company was organized and
incorporated about year ago, with
capital stock Of $4,000, in 800 shares
Of 500 each, to engage in tho manu-.
facture and sale OF lime and other
building materials. Office and ware
house at No. 10 Riverside evenue
Quarries where lime Is manufactured
are located at Squaw Bay, on Pend
dOreille lake, Kootenai county, Idaho.
The product is known as Squaw Bay
lime and is shipped to this city by
rail. The rock composing the lime
stone lodges is white marble and
lies in an immense body, assaying So
per cent. pure lime, and as it Is capa-
bic Of high polish, would make ele.
CANT marble fronts for our business
blocks.
The quality Of this lime is pro-
nounced by hll who are in a position
to know, to be fully equal, II not su-
perior, to any lime on the Pacific
coast.
Since the merits OF the Squaw Bay
lime has been known the company
has been unable with its present fa-
cilities to more than half supply the
home demand Owing " the urgent
demand and the high price Of bar
rels, it has been necessary thus far to
handle the lime in sacks. The COM
pany is now preparing. however, to
erect new and improved klns, and to
put in plant for the manufacture OF
lime barrels, and by the time the
spring trade opens will be able to
more than supply the home demand,
and to bid for outside trade.
During the past year, although
working under difficulties, having
spent some months building kilns, a
wagon road through the forest seven
miles to the railroad, cabins for the
accommodation Of the men employed,
and other work necessary in starting
new enterprise OF this kind, the
company has manufactured and sold
5000 barrels Of lime. They expect,
with improved facilities, TO increase
the output for the coming year to at
least 10000 barrels.

In another passage Hugo gives q con-
vincing proof Of the king courage and
GOODNESS and of the queens likewise. He
was riding with them in the royal car
rage upon n occasion, when an attempt
was made upon Louis Philippe's life.
''When the first shot was fired, one of the
escort exclaimed; 1t Is a sportsman let
ting of his gun "A strange sports
man. said I to the king, who fires off
the remainder Of his powder at royaltyl'
As I said this, the second shot was fired.
Then I exclaimed, 1T Is an assassin

hasty conclusions. Wait Q bit; the thing

ment the queen touched me gently on the
shoulder, and a. i turned round shs

Curious story conoernins Basains.

=
A curious story regarding Bazains
comes from Madrid. The ''Man Of
Metz" as the French call him, one after
noon q few days ago stepped into a con-
f~ectionor's shop in the Gale de Alcala.
II was kept by a Frenchman, but of this
fact Bazaine was ignorant. The place
was full Of people, carriages on the way
to the Buen Retro having stopped before
the door that the occupants might in
dulge in an ice or other delicacy. Ba-
zaine approached q table. The crowd
nudged each other and whispered. while
the proprietor, standing at his desk, rec
ognized him and turned pale, but said
nothing. The ex-marshal took a cake
from a plate and began eating without
apparently noticing the commotion his
entrance had occasioned. The confec-
toner disappeared for a moment in a
rear room, then returning with a large
hamper, threw all the cakes exposed for
sale into it, passed into the street and de-
posted the contents of the hamper into
the gutter. Returning, he said to his be-
wildered patrons: Gentlemen, the shop
is closed for today. II will be open to-
morrow" Bazaine understood, grew
livid with anger, put down a piece OF
money on the cashiers desk and left.
The Frenchman took up the coin with q
shovel and threw it among the cakes,
which the dogs were already fighting
over. Then turning to his customers,
who were preparing to leave, considera-
bly, impressed by this display of Gallo
patriotism, he remarked: Ladies and
gentlemen, l knew you would not have
cared to handle cakes that Bazaine had
touched" And he ordered his clerks to
put up the shutters.-The Argonaut.

One of the most curious things arising
from the use Of the telephone is the de-
velopment Of the telephone ear" At
any lecture, where the speaker can be
heard only with difficulty, it will be seen
that every listener will turn the ear he
uses at the telephone. This would seem
TO prove that the telephone quickens
rather than dulls the hearing. Yet you
tell a person the other ear is not good and
he viii get indignant. Here in the cen
tral Office, where a single ear is on a con-
slant strain, we do not notice that the
other ear suffers from the disuse. Per-
SOM have an idea that the shock they get
sometimes when they have the trumpet
at their ear and the operator carelessly
rings them up, Injuries the tympanum
because the ear buzzes for q moment or
two. That may be 50, but | have never
heard of it being b in fact.-Globe-

No one who has sold drugs during the
last twenty years can have failed TO no
tice the great change that has taken place
in the amount Of medicine called for by
prescriptions sent us by physicians. Not
One-fifth of the medicine is administered
nov that was prescribed ten years ago,
and not a physician in the city ever
thinks of giving the doses that were COM
mon in 1867. The reason for this change
can be traced directly to homeopathy.
The allopathic physicians deny this, but
wherever the bomeopathists have not
found a fpothold the old system continues
in nearly undiminished vigor, and the
stronger the homeopathic following the
smaller the allopathic doses. / myself
am an unbeliever in regard TO homeop-
athy, but think that it has done a vaiu-
able service 10 the community in deliver
ing them from the old idea that a dose Of
medicine was beneficial in direct proper
ton to its size and nastiness. This old
belief has many adherents in the country,
but in the cities it has nearly disappeared,
greatly to the benefit Of the community,
and nearly every druggist in town will
acknowledge, II he dare, that IL is due to
the growth Of homeopathy. Druggist
